Ceau!
I am writing you now from the beautiful city of Sibiu. It is gorgeous here and fall has definitely come. The weather is much cooler and has even rained a bit. It is such a clean, cute, small, and historic city with German influence. Getting here was quite an adventure. Transfers went well. I got to see old companions and talk to good friends. Instead of coming back to Sibiu Wednesday with the Elders, we stayed in Bucaresti another night and went to Mission Council the next day. What an awesome opportunity to be in the meeting with all the zone leaders and with President and Sora Hill to discuss the mission. Sora Sam and I learned so much and I am so greatful I had to opportunity to go. There are so many things that happen behind the scenes, all the hours of planning and discussing and ideas that go into helping progress the work here in Romania. After the meeting we had to rush to the train station, but we didn't make it in time. We missed the train. So instead of going back Thursday we now had tickets for Friday morning. We spent the night in Buc again and left in the morning. Traffic was really bad and we came close to missing our train, again. Don't worry, we made it. Because we were both being transferred, we had all of our baggage. It didn't fit in the compartment in the train so we had to stay with it in the luggage room. Sora Sam ended up riding the train on her suitcases. It was such an adventure. The train ride was gorgeous. We went through the mountains and the forests. On Friday we made it to Sibiu.
The branch is small, but the members are awesome. We had a relief society activity and there are activities planned for the coming weeks. They have had some problems in the past with leaders and they are trying to rebuild. We are excited to get to meet more of the members and to being the work. They have not had sister missionaries here for over a year and a half. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but the branch is so willing and ready to help us. It is such a blessing to have the support of the branch. I have been called as the branch pianist and we are teaching primary as well. We have 2 children in primary. They are almost ready to go to young mens and young womens and were both baptized at 8. It has been a while since I have seen a primary and children are truly filled with light and truth. No wonder Christ asks us to become as little children. I love this gospel, I know that as we become as little children, meek, submissive, and desiring to do the will of Heavenly Father our lives will be filled with more joy and purpose.
Va Iubesc,
Sora Remsberg
